A lively hand-drawn print with a brush-marker feel. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with softly rounded terminals and occasional tapered beginnings/ends that suggest quick pen lifts. The forms lean consistently, with bouncy baselines and irregular widths that create an organic rhythm. Counters are generous and simplified, and many joins are open and airy rather than tightly constructed, keeping shapes readable even with the heavy stroke weight.
Best suited to short-to-medium copy where personality matters: headlines, quotes, posters, social graphics, packaging callouts, and casual branding. It can also work for menus or event materials where a friendly handmade tone helps guide attention.
The tone is warm, informal, and upbeat—more like handwritten signage than formal typography. Its easygoing, slightly imperfect rhythm reads as personal and inviting, making it feel conversational and kid-friendly without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to mimic confident marker handwriting in a clean, repeatable font: bold, quick strokes, consistent slant, and simplified shapes that prioritize charm and immediacy while remaining legible at display sizes.
Capitals have a simple, poster-like structure and pair smoothly with the lowercase, which carries more motion and idiosyncrasy. Numerals match the same rounded, drawn-by-hand logic, staying cohesive with the letterforms in weight and curvature.
